SMART Goals - Douglas County School District RE-1
SMART Goals
Goals should be SMART - specific, measurable, agreed upon, realistic and time-based. The acronym SMART has a number of slightly different variations, which can be used to provide a more comprehensive definition for goal setting:
S - specific, significant, stretching M - measurable, meaningful, motivational A - agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented T - time-based, timely, tangible, trackable
Specific
SMART Goals
? Well defined ? Clear to anyone that has a basic knowledge of the project
Measurable
? Know if the goal is obtainable and how far away completion is ? Know when it has been achieved
Attainable
? Agreement with all the stakeholders what the goals should be
Results Oriented
? Within the availability of resources, knowledge and time
Time Bound
? Enough time to achieve the goal ? Not too much time, which can affect project performance

Goal Setting with Students
Individual Conferences are held with each student.
? Discuss the classroom mission and the students personal mission statement.
? Review classroom SMART goals and talk about how the students' personal goals should align to them.
? Students have identified two or three challenge areas.
? Students are ready to initiate the goal writing process.
Students select one challenge area to develop for an academic goal and another challenge area for the development of a socialization goal (e.g. developing a students ethic, homework completion, or may be more specific behavioral goals).
Collaboratively:
The student and teacher develop an action plan. Decisions regarding how data will be gathered and recorded are
determined at this point (tally, bar graph, run chart). Weekly evaluation of the data being gathered is reviewed and
shared. Goals and action plans are revised based on data collected.
It is important to note that students must have a clear understanding of expectations.
Students must be able to understand and define appropriate expectations. Examples of these are IEP Goals in simplified terms for students, State Standards in understandable language, and specific classroom standards.
Student friendly expectations need to be posted in the classroom. A copy is kept in the student data folder for student reference.
Remember: Student goals should align to classroom SMART goals!
